Finder gets stuck, and shuts down my wifi connection. Anyone has experienced this same problem?

While working on my website, I have Safari and Finder opened.
Happened three times today. Finder, while moving (by dragging) a file from one window to another, gets stuck.
At the same time, the wifi connection shuts down, and only after I force restart for finder, I get the wifi to work again.
That's quite weird... is't it?
I have two USB 3.0 HD connected, and 3 Firewire ones connected to the thunderbolt inlet.
Can you help me understand the problem? it happens just randomly.
Thanks!

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
Safe Mode - Mavericks also Yosemite

I recently applied software updates for Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and 9.1.8 to Logic Pro and now Logic Pro is not operating correctly. Has anyone else experienced this same problem. (Mac Pro Desktop, Mountain Lion).

Need some help.

Thanks. I added the supplemental and it looks like I may be back to normal here. I will have to fully check it out but Logic is opening up correctly and no weirdness so far.

Why did my iPhone 5 get hot and shut down?

Why did my iPhone 5 get hot and shut down?

I would contact applecare about this issue. a hot phone is not normal , a warm phone is.
but if you contact applecare that way you have a record of the issue incase it gets worse in the future.

Virtualized servers get stuck at "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..."

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 (no service pack) server that has been virtualized last summer and since then:
- Windows Update does not download any updates (it says Cancelled for every update in the Update History)
- When I reboot the vm, it gets stuck on "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..." and I have to cold-Reset the vm to get it working again.
I tried running Windows Update Standalone Installer (Windows6.1-KB947821-v20-x64.msu) on the machine, but that gets stuck on "searching for updates"...
I tried stopping the Windows Update service but that doesn't work either, it says that the service is not responding...
I'm not sure what to try next, I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks a lot,
Guillaume

Hello !

I have problem with my computer.
When I'm playing computer games or when I save movie created in Sony Vegas or Windows Movie Maker, my Toshiba is getting hot, and shut down.
I don't know the reason.
I saw that, wnen CPU is 50% of use (saving movie in Movie Maker) the computer will shut down about 5 min from start to save.
I bought this computer in UK in august. I did't format it for 7 months.
What can I do ?
Maybe open and clean the fan ?
Will I lost my warranty, when I only open it and clen ?

I usually use my computer on knees, but wneh I put in on desk the effect it that same...
cooling vents free, not blocked.

Now when I'm playing Call of Duty Black Ops or doing something when CPU use is 50% it getting hot next shutdown.

should I bring it to apple ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation. There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

HT5192 After installing IOS 5.1, I am unable to double click the home button and access the camera. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does a fix or work aroud exist?

After installing IOS 5.1, I am unable to double click the home button and access the camera. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does a fix or work aroud exist?

I just updated--my Camera is a disaster. Yes, I know how to turn (and position) the Camera now. However, every photo I take is UPSIDE DOWN in the Camera Roll OR Photo Stream. Even worse, a number of my Apps (Weather Underground, for example) are ALSO now upside down. Has anyone here experienced these serious orientation problems after this update? I've read the 'Manual' and its as if it doesn't exist. However, if I leave the Apple site, customer complaints about orientation abound...
This is my first time posting here about an issue (well, the same issue - I posted last week about the Camera, and no one responded). Any advice at all about how to get this corrected is much appreciated!
Thank you!
Lisa

My Computer goes to sleep on its own, then just gets mad and shuts down?

I have a problem i hope some of you wonderful people can help me with. I have no idea why but when i am in the middle of something, doesn't matter what i am doing. my computer fan speeds up, then my computer goes into what appears to be sleep mode ( you know blank screen little light coming on then off in a rhythmic way). if i hit a key it seems to come alive and then same thing happens until it just shuts down completely. I had this happen once before and went to apple online and saw that they had a service extension. i guess my computer wasnt the only one having the problem.. I had it fixed by an authorized apple repair dealer listed on apple.com in my hometown. Its acting up again and i am wondering if it could be anything else....... any one got any ideas?

Hi have been using the classic for 4 years, of late whenever i load more than 4000 songs the ipod crashes and shuts down. till 3800 songs there seems to be no problem. do ipods have a finite life?

the classic ipod has crashed 4 times in the last 2 months. till i load 3800 to 3900 songs there seems to be no problem. but after that it just crashes and instructs me to restore to factory settings. just want to know if ipods have a finite life and need changing after this. i need urgent help at least if that is true i can save the trouble of loading songs every other week
thanks and regards

Yep, iPod classic has life of about 2 years before the hardisk, starts to suffer from arthritis.
Here is a excellent post on iPod diskdiagnostic by regular tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2362776?start=0&tstart=0
You can also look into getting the iPod hardisk replaced by SSD/Compact Flash, just google "iPod SSD replacement" or you can search in youtube, on how to do it yourself, if you got steady hands and hawkeye.
SSD Capacity is expensive,
Have a nice day!

My firefox is constantly getting stuck and says firefox is not responding. i just bought this comp and am running windows 7.

it seems to freeze up constantly and will not move. it did this opn my last comp also which was running vista. i can't understand what could be causing this problem.

Have you tried "Run" instead of "Save?"
Do you have anti-virus software on the PC? If you do, try disabling the anti-virus for just 15minutes to allow the download to finish.
Hope one of those helps.
